you can also buy the ftx tracer, its great and very cheap! the cheaper older version goes 30 km/h and the newer version goes 50km/h (30 m/h) for less than 200!
Biggest diy is probably my 1:10 almost fully 3d printed on road car based on a sakura 4wd. Its almost done, just needs one gear. Some 12mm hex hubs, and a receiver since I cannibalized the reciever for another car that fried its... aw well. Lol. You can tell i started with balsa planes, my go-to glue is CA. I use CA and activator for EVERYTHING. 🤣
I built a heavily modified FTX Outback, used Axial AX10 axles, homemade motor mount to move the motor up so I could use a bigger motor, moved battery to the front, new esc etc so i can use a 2c lipo, better shocks, links and full set of lights.
I cut my windows out of my Grave Digger like you did I love it, Thank you 'That is so cool how you do it with Monster trucks I love your ramps you made love too see a video of how you do it...
Man this is a greate job . Really nice job, i can say it's easy to undesrstand how to do it. I must say you are good. Who cares about hot glue, If it works it's ok.
can you make more of these videos? i feel like i've learnt a lot from the previous uploads. id like to see the monster mutt build just to see a new way of building this truck
You should use the scx24 then all you need is the front axle and servo and thats it already have the 3rd channel for rear steer. Be the cheapest 4 wheel steer.
If ya have to keep the shark body, paint it flat black. Everything looks better painted black. But great job kev! Hope you had a merry christmas, and hope your new year is great as well!
I don’t want to be mean you are the best RUclipsr ever but I found it so funny the way you pronounced megalodon Then I realised that’s what the product is named. sorry Cool videos So cool
I really dig your 1:24 scale monster truck builds and now I'm starting on one myself. I just received the devastator I ordered and I'm looking for a trans. I was thinking of using an axial scx 24 transmission but they seem to be hard to find right now.
Surprised you have not done a video on the basher rocksta another micro crawler but almost in a world of it's own. Your videos are a great mixture of education and entertainment. Thanks for the effort let me know if you ever need any decals or swag.
This looks amazing, i had a idea that might look cool if i never get around to making 1 though, it would be using any kind of helicopter body with or without propellers i think any way would look nice, thanks for the tutorials
I know I’m late but in case you guys are wondering, this costs about $186 USD I made it my self and here are the pros and cons when building...... Pros: Plastic is flexible and easy to drill. Looks way cooler IRL Parts are easy to buy. Fast, strong, good crawler Build time: 2-3 hours or 4-6 hours if you do it slowly Cons: takes up to a month for build parts to come in If you make a mistake you probably will have to buy a new one, (I went throw 2 grave diggers 1 crawler, third grave digger one worked perfectly bc of practice)
Realy cool conversion :D what you/others can do is cut out the window and use the clear plastic that was on the Shark boks or from other food stuff,etc :D ps: maby make tutorial video on what to look for and what is good or not good on bangood rc products, i notice ther is alot of rc`s but its hard to chose since you never know what has spare parts or not, and what to look for with the batteries, transmitter, recever etc, with known brands you know it usually has stuff that goes to getter and parts like Kyosho and other known brands :) i only know Nikko and Kyosho :D
Have you thought about using the axial scx24 platform for building one of these? I took a few quick measurements and everything seems to matchup perfectly. Then you could just use everything axles and all electronics from the scx24.
The problem with scx24 axles is the have worm drive gears in the diffs so that means permanent 100% drag brake no matter what electronics you use. Great idea but the worm gears kinda ruin it.
I feel like just mounting the chassis and body over the frame would be more effective and cheaper. Now I could see do the whole swap if you upgrade everything like the brushless one.
Been looking for a quality monster jam rc for my son. Seen the smt10 Grave digger it’s way outta my budget. We will have a go at this. Itd be cool if you did a write up and got into specifics. I’m new to rc cars and you start saying servos I pause and google. Lol
Hey Kev I’m considering building one of these but I was wondering if I could fit the electrical components from the ftx onto here? To keep the cost down even more. If so let me know thanks
Kevin Talbot ok thanks could the servo fit and the part were you drill out the rims on the megladon (it’s not meglatron lol) what size is the drill bit thingy
I'm wondering if I can buy JUST the axles and not the entire truck. When I look up the axles, it comes up as a housing without any gears. I'm wondering if I need my own gears. Thank you for your time.
My son Really likes your video
I’m going to need to build Megalodon, Grave Digger, and Monster Mutt. They were always some personal favorites
❤️
How can I make dead how can I make it where the hell
@@marie-claudedegrace8576 I love you
Hello how are you doing and what I'm doing but how can I build
Well you want to build that monster truck in the mote controller how do I do
I've done it! It took me a couple months but I've watched all the videos on this channel.
Thanks dude :)
Kev, I’d like to see an 8S with a powerful motor in the smallest possible form factor. Thanks for the vids.
The motor would be the whole thing😂😂😂
Lol
Me too
@@gamereston8820 I know right
Ppl
You are the real legend Kevin..
@Vibing Pug its easy
First time to see a verified YT channel with 7 likes, lol.
Simply Awesome!! An RC Company, Needs to Mass Produce these !! I’d Buy a Bunch of them, they are Cool ! Keep Building these Cool Trucks!!!
Jude buy a Latrax Teton. Slightly bigger, but same idea: compact speed.
Kevin thank you for teaching me how to do Ac Cars I have built My first Ac car
you can also buy the ftx tracer, its great and very cheap! the cheaper older version goes 30 km/h and the newer version goes 50km/h (30 m/h) for less than 200!
Monster jam is gonna hire you
You have the best epic life RUclips pays good to have fun!
You’re videos are getting better every time 👍🏻
thanks bro
Kev is going to take over the world with all his Mini Monster Trucks
Biggest diy is probably my 1:10 almost fully 3d printed on road car based on a sakura 4wd. Its almost done, just needs one gear. Some 12mm hex hubs, and a receiver since I cannibalized the reciever for another car that fried its... aw well. Lol.
You can tell i started with balsa planes, my go-to glue is CA. I use CA and activator for EVERYTHING. 🤣
Yo, can we just admire the fact that Kevin drives better with one hand than we do with 2?
It is only about the training
Now this dude is building monster trucks this channel gets better everyday
I built a heavily modified FTX Outback, used Axial AX10 axles, homemade motor mount to move the motor up so I could use a bigger motor, moved battery to the front, new esc etc so i can use a 2c lipo, better shocks, links and full set of lights.
bought the megladon today, hoping to save for the rest of the parts in the coming weeks
Quick tip. Use industry grade glue sticks (the black ones). They are much more stronger than those what you use now.
I cut my windows out of my Grave Digger like you did I love it, Thank you 'That is so cool how you do it with Monster trucks I love your ramps you made love too see a video of how you do it...
How to do you put the motor wires on the esc?
Love RC, and Monster Jam especially the Megalodon truck. "You can't fight the bite!"
If you don’t give hot glue a try you are missing out. Learned this from mom years ago. Fixed some of my old tyco and nikko with hot glue as a kid
You have inspired me to get back into the hobby after a long time away
0:18 awwwww such a cute dog!
Hey Kevin you should put on some proline power strokes shocks on the slash and the rustler they are very very good better than those GTR shocks
That's actually a dope looking truck. All 3 of them
Awesome build Kev, i just finish my own custom crawler using a FTX outback mini 2.0 chassis with a Revell series 3 landrover body
kev U ARE THE BEST RUclipsR ever!!!!!!!!!!
Man this is a greate job . Really nice job, i can say it's easy to undesrstand how to do it. I must say you are good. Who cares about hot glue, If it works it's ok.
AWESOME RC BUILD!!! CHEAPO BECOMES SUPER FAST!!!! 😁
Your video are amazing man how can people be negative
I love these builds, and I used hot glue all the time, I discovered this product called bondic which is awesome and mess free
can you make more of these videos? i feel like i've learnt a lot from the previous uploads. id like to see the monster mutt build just to see a new way of building this truck
❤️🧡🧡🧡👋
Oh my gosh I love your RC trucks and also you are doing pretty good at making them OMG I have four and five RC trucks but one of them
That looked Cool in SloMo Kev.
First. I got the wltoys a969 for christmas
Great job.. Unfortunately I don't have the same building skills 🙈😎
new subscriber here! these are the kinda vids i looove. I realize they take A LOT of time to build shoot and edit, so thank you. DIY builds rock!
I'm gonna try this build soon I hope.
Could use the clear plastic from the box.
You need to stop stalling and put the engine in the crawler... like if u agree
yes!
Kev will probably do that
@@KevinTalbotTV good man
I'm very IMPATIENTLY waiting!!!!
Kevin Talbot YAY!
You should use the scx24 then all you need is the front axle and servo and thats it already have the 3rd channel for rear steer. Be the cheapest 4 wheel steer.
If ya have to keep the shark body, paint it flat black. Everything looks better painted black. But great job kev! Hope you had a merry christmas, and hope your new year is great as well!
I don’t want to be mean you are the best RUclipsr ever but I found it so funny the way you pronounced megalodon
Then I realised that’s what the product is named. sorry
Cool videos
So cool
I really dig your 1:24 scale monster truck builds and now I'm starting on one myself. I just received the devastator I ordered and I'm looking for a trans. I was thinking of using an axial scx 24 transmission but they seem to be hard to find right now.
How did it turn out?
That’s so cool a mini Megalodon!! My buddy drive the truck over where in the USA
Surprised you have not done a video on the basher rocksta another micro crawler but almost in a world of it's own. Your videos are a great mixture of education and entertainment. Thanks for the effort let me know if you ever need any decals or swag.
Totally cool and I think it was worth putting on some hot glue
This looks amazing, i had a idea that might look cool if i never get around to making 1 though, it would be using any kind of helicopter body with or without propellers i think any way would look nice, thanks for the tutorials
Good on ya, yeah definitely do the monster jam competition with them, just time the real things. I’ll look forward to seeing it. 😀

Honestly not worth it with that money u could buy a stampede
Realy cool conversion :D what you/others can do is cut out the window and use the clear plastic that was on the Shark boks or from other food stuff,etc :D

i only know Nikko and Kyosho :D
This video surges in front of me when losi lmt mini is released.😂
Nothing wrong with At heart. You are an inspiration Kevin. Recently joined your Facebook page hope you liked my general Lee EREVO jump.
Kev, i just watched CARWOW, onvtheir youtube raced the arrma infraction against the audi r8 v10 in the quarter mile and they actually tied
Can u plz review a Smax Remo Hobby Truck
Un lavoro di precisione!!!... Spettacolo!!!
You should use the clear plastic from the monster trucks packaging box to make a windshield
Dude love it! Haha only thing I’m missing is you wearing you’re own merchandise. Haha all your vids are the best!
Your too smart 😂😂 I need to try this
you´re
u should make a no prep race car kev
That was pretty cool Kev, the rc you made out of a crap one was awesome for the time it took you. Great vid Kev mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
David White, I agree but he used three trucks to make one Frankenstein truck
You are very creative kevin

I built a toy grade 1/10 rc Lamborghini and made it hobby grade-ish haven't taken it out yet but so for its good just needs some support on the servo.

Happy New Year
This is why I have no more money 😂 cause I buy this stuff

Meme central haha
Same here lol. But it's a hobby that keeps me busy.

So cool kev I love your vids
Hot glue doesn't matter you do you Kev😊
I enjoyed the build but I think it would have been easier and cheaper if you built it from the RGT Adventurer or used a SCX24 as your base
Hey Kev I’m considering building one of these but I was wondering if I could fit the electrical components from the ftx onto here? To keep the cost down even more. If so let me know thanks
yeh it should fit in no problem
Kevin Talbot ok thanks could the servo fit and the part were you drill out the rims on the megladon (it’s not meglatron lol) what size is the drill bit thingy
Nice you should make a back flip RC monster truck
That could be good as a crawler
Love ❤️ your vids
Omg I just got a grave digger one for $12 US! I’m gonna build it thanks man!
Sick! Please make a vid :)
Well now I have to!
@Kevin Talbot can you teach how to drive on two wheels with the traxxas slash
Nice job Kevin 👌🏻
thank u i have been looking at biuldiing a car and this is it
this gives me big sleeper vibes
Kelvin Talbot what is the best nitro fuel for nitro rc car
I like cheap rc car because there fun to use
Awesome.!!.. Bud Keep it Up
I'm wondering if I can buy JUST the axles and not the entire truck. When I look up the axles, it comes up as a housing without any gears. I'm wondering if I need my own gears. Thank you for your time.
Kev can you please get a FTx carnage they are pretty strong and cheapish in your case keep up the good work
Hi Kevin I love your videos and all the content keep it up dude
Great video Kevin. I want to build something 🤔
I LOVE MONSTER JAM
Wow that radio is really a bargain even if it broke buy another for a fraction of the price of most high end radios
Love ur vids keep up the great work
Your videos are so good. Good work
You should REALLY try making an xmaxx with all wheel steering
I would love to
It cost around 175 dollars to build
1:52 That was perfect
